Rejoice At Christmas

Hail Christ the King who reigns over Heaven and earth. Sing, you child of God. The Savior of the world has come. 

Christmas Time Everywhere

Eight (8) years ago, on December 4, 2012, God  Almighty gave me a glimpse of His vastness to bring to the world. Thus saith the Lord.

CHRISTMAS IS A LOVE STORY.  Everybody wants to see God. They want to see someone that looks like them. That is not who I am. I am big. I fill time, space, and void. I am big! Every day they are looking for me in things. You say, ‘He’s that person. He’s in this person. He is the trees. He is the leaves. He is the breeze.’ They say, ‘God is in everything. Everything is God.’ You call others God. Nothing can be me. Nobody is me. I am God. I created all. I am big. I fill time, space, and void.  

FOR ENTIRE MESSAGE see blog post of December 4, 2019. Quick access link, see popular posts listing at right column of home page. Thank you.

Blessings, Peace, and Merry Christmas,

Enough To Be Grateful For

 

Wonderful world. Beautiful people. I appreciate you. I wish you God's richest blessings today and always. I am thankful to the Lord for sending you my way. Together, we will navigate life one day at a time. We will laugh, and often laugh at oneself. We will cry, and somehow find a reason to smile through teary eyes. We will hold one another’s hand, and pat each other on the shoulder. When life returns to the way it ought to be, we will hug our loved ones again. It will be alright. You are always in my prayer. I think the world of you. You pray for me and I pray for you. Love for one another will get us there.

Today is the official celebration of Thanksgiving Day. All things considered, we have too much to be thankful for. Just being alive to see today! Develop an attitude of gratitude. Let not the current circumstances of your life dictate your thankful attitude. As long as there is Jehovah God in the highest Heaven… Almighty God whose Throne is suspended over the universe… Ancient of Days who reign above all of creation… The One and Only God before whose presence earth and sky and sea will flee! Hallelujah. As long as your faith is in God Almighty through Salvation in Jesus Christ, you have every reason to be thankful. Therein is everything to be grateful for. You are already a conqueror. It does not matter if you’re winning the battles or not, God has won the war. Rest easy!

I am thankful because I am a child of the King! I am thankful because God Almighty is my Heavenly Father. God is your Heavenly father. If you accept Jesus Christ as the only begotten son of God who came to earth and died for your sins, you, too, are a child of the King. Rejoice! Rejoice!

You are a winner. I am a winner. We are winners! In the end we each win with Jesus. God’s in control. God is in absolute control. Nothing happens without God’s approval. It is that serious! God’s love for you is serious business. You are the Lord’s most prized possession. Receive the meaning of this. Personalize the love of God in your life. God created you because of love. God saved you from eternal death because of love. Jesus Christ died in your place because of love. God is Love. Rejoice!

This is my attitude—an attitude of gratitude that Jesus Christ is Lord of my life. What is your attitude, my friend? Are you assured that Christ is Lord of your life? I pray so. Salvation is your ticket to an abundant life on earth and eternity with God your Heavenly Father. What a reason for thanksgiving!!!

Enjoy a fabulous day. Make every single moment memorable. Blessings abundant.

Scenario Coming Soon

Wonderful world. Beautiful people. How are you holding up? I pray life is treating you well and you are living while you are alive. My wish for you is that you are joyful, happy and satisfied with the life you have. Keep working at it until you're pleased with the end product you display to the world every day. Cultivate the best version of yourself and bring it forward every single minute. Smile through the ugliness and laugh your way through the craziness. Hold on to that little flicker of fight left in you and push through. You are a natural winner. You'll be fine. If Jesus is your anchor, trust me, you'll be just fine. Absolutely. Enjoy a fabulous day. Here's sending God's radiance to saturate your being. I want to share this with you. After reading, please be still for a few minutes and think. Work on your faith in Jesus.

Caught up in praise and worship prayer time, my eyes were opened to the following revelation. 

Scenario coming soon to a location near you. Two altars of worship have been presented. Before you are the Statue of Confucius and The Cross of Christ. Within you is free will. Around you is persecution. Ahead of you is martyrdom. The day requires an answer. Bow down or else! Nearby is convenience; ease, glitz and glamour, comforts and luxuries abound. Only you are standing in your way. Bow down! Bow down!! Bow down!!! OR ELSE.

If a Christian cannot choose the Cross of Christ in peace time, how would you stand during the times of persecutions? Is your faith in God Almighty strong enough that your answer would be, “YES I believe in Jesus Christ and choose the Cross of Christ.” The day requires an answer. The day is suddenly now.

My Friend. Let not your living be in vain. Let not all your Sunday morning “dressed up for church” and on time for “early morning Service” be in vain. You've been diligent with reading daily devotionals, quiet time, Prayer Books and Bible study. You are regular at prayer meeting and prayer line. You've worshipped, respected the Lord, performed religious duties, love your fellow human beings, and served God faithfully. You cannot live after all these years and miss it in one foolish moment of denying Christ.

The Lord is looking for righteous hearts and that righteousness is found in Jesus. Likewise, Scripture teaches, "Righteousness exalts a nation. But sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverbs 14:34). Sin could easily cause a person to bow down against Christ.

Ask God to open your spiritual eye. Your body is decaying every day. Do not rot the soul as well. The trap is subtle. That is the intent of a cunning and crafty enemy. Deadly setups. You don't see the landmines and walk right into it. One explosion and you're dead. 

Persecution is coming. Many, many, Christians are anything but ready. Many believers are not prepared to give the answer which will save your soul. It is time to ditch frivolous Christianity. My Friend. Your name cost Christ his life. Are you prepared for His name to cost you your life? Ponder this.

I do love you. Tough topic, I know. But it is that serious, that’s why I have to go there. I love you with a sisterly love. God bless you and bless you more. Jesus absolutely loves you.

Nah So It Be Oh

Let’s Talk Life—Yours and Mine—Laugh or Ponder. ~HortenseInspiration

My name is Hortense. Until I left my native country, Liberia, in 1988, I was the only person with my name in the whole country. WOW. That alone is a license for any undertaking. These days, I live in America. The United States has been my beloved and cherished home for the past thirty-three years. I absolutely love America. It is my base, from where I work to carry out the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Global Village that is earth, with an emphasis on Africa. I spend my days doing the Lord’s work in various ways; taking back territory for the Master. Time is running out. Jesus is coming soon. People get ready! Leave sin and live Godly lives. None is righteous but Christ grants you righteousness and makes you pure. You must embrace Salvation in Christ and Redemption by the Blood of Jesus.

What drives me: Love for the Lord and a desire to make Jesus proud that He chose me for Kingdom work (DO IT FOR CHRIST Ministries). What keeps me going: Passion for Christ; compassion for helping hurting people; being Passionate about prayer, because Prayer changes everything. What gets me started and moving: Commitment to the things of Almighty God and the things that matter to Almighty God. What satisfies me: Waking up every single morning determined to stand tall; resolute to allow nothing to drag me down with it. Tough little cookie. Firm but fair. Never a wishy-washy.

My wish for every day is this: I want to fall asleep at night knowing I have done my best to not wound another intentionally. Finding the humility to say I am sorry when needed. Wretched sinner I am. I try by God's grace. That's how God wants us to be. Imperfectly perfect. Likewise, you. Let’s keep striving to be good until we leave earth. One must make it your business to stand for the values you believe in, even if you have to walk alone on every trip life extends. It is your own life. Set your standards. And uphold your values. Godly standards. There is no substitute for morals and values. It matters to Jesus.

My Friend. Who are you to yourself? What drives you? What keeps you going? What gets you started and moving? What satisfies you? As you sit home tonight playback your answers for yourself. It is important that you define you. The times demand that you have a clear definition of yourself. Only then can you counter the world’s definition of and decision about you.

Introspect. Should you find you’ve lost your way a bit, retrace your steps. Get back on track. If there are areas where you’ve let yourself down, don’t worry and do not fret-frantic. Perk yourself up. Begin afresh tomorrow. I pray you would conclude it is your life and you can shape it. You can perfect life so it's not just a game for others. You should never be caught watching others play your life. I have discovered many, many people have become too weary to invest in themselves, because all their energy is divested elsewhere without a struggle. People just sit and let the agenda of others dominate their agenda. Your light bulb goes dim... dimmer... dull... and then, boom(!) OFF. There goes your shine. Suddenly. You counted yourself out of the equation. You did so while not paying attention to yourself.

Let me share one of my favorite Bible verses with you. This is what I call my stamina replacement medicine verse. "If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?" (Jeremiah 12:5 NIV). Think about this! Believe me, this passage of Scripture wake up the giant in me. It is an antidote whenever my chin wants to droop from life’s poisonous dosages. 

To wrap it all up, my dear friend. Hear me. Consider that you will have to answer for yourself on that day. One fine day, coming soon, you will be at one or the other judgment seat. You'll either be at the Judgment Seat of Christ or at The Great White Throne Judgment. Until then, do not let human beings wear you out. And don't you dare be so trusting in safe land no matter how plenty are the human beings. Jesus died for you and the Holy Spirit was sent to earth for you. In God’s book, everything is about you.

In the grand scheme of things, nothing is ever really what it seems. Every story has a story for the story of the story in the interest of the owner of the story. LAUGH OUT LOUD. I’m just trying to say, as far as people are concerned it is not about you. It is about them. Don’t take too long to figure this out. Nah so life be oh, my friend; nah so it be!* That's just the way life is my friend; such it is. 

Follow what you and God agree on when you pray and read the Bible. God's way or no way! Jesus Christ is the standard for all things. When you slip, get up quickly and go back to making Jesus Christ the standard for all things concerning life. I went all around just to tell you it's God's standard or none.

I just stopped by to shoot a little breeze with you. To let you know you are special and I love you with a sisterly love. Good night. Sweet sleep!!!

Opposite of Brain Dead Lazy

The number one reason Church folks will be in Hell is laziness. Laziness will cause once-saved Christians to become non-believers in Christ. Laziness will befriend a scripturally sound believer causing one to prefer books by “renowned” Christian authors over the Book of the Divine Inspired Word of God. God’s recorded Word written by authors chosen by Almighty God. You stop reading the Bible. Laziness will create doubts and have you discredit the teachings of Scripture. You suddenly become a genius at detecting the fallacy of the Holy Bible. Laziness will cause you to volunteer your brain for new age experiments. Your head is bent, position facing electronic gadgets from sunrise to midnight daily. Laziness will have you freely give up your mental faculty for use as test tubes incubating non-Christian enlightenment. Say this out loud: "Heavenly Father, give me the strength to be fierce in prayer and spending time with you daily."

Laziness will cause you to donate your body to zombie activities. You sit for hours, endlessly, watching glass screens with absorbing glares. The larger the dimensions the more exciting the view. Television. My goodness! Electronic gadgets galore. The joys of surround sound! Size 60-inch! Great for the bedroom. 70-inch for the living room! Good job. 90-inch for the basement! Oh my world… you have arrived. There is nothing wrong with owning material possessions for comfort or luxury. Except, when they become idols and their content idolatrous. Are there gains at this point? Have you then considered any losses in the process? Your mind. Your spirit. Your body. Your soul. Eternity and its forever lifespan.

Laziness will cause you to refuse to read and stimulate brain cells. Satan drips a nonsense speaking voice with facades of logic. Laziness makes you prefer listening to self-proclaimed credible sources. Satan infiltrates a source and places it in your path. There are countless willing agents of Satan; messengers the enemy sends directly for you, tailored to you. You are being sifted just like the Devil decided against you. Laziness will cause you to disengage brain activity. Your Brain. That tiny dot on the human anatomy, of which limited mortality only allow for maximum 10 percent usage, becomes aster sized in circuits of soundwaves and volumes. Minimized capacity. The minute your eyes open from the sleep of partial death every morning to the minute your eyes shut down for the sleep of partial death every night. Every waking minute dedicated to “screen” time! Parched brain. God forbid you’d flip to the Gospel at any time during this process!!! Oh noooo. Your personal giant screens are for everything else but that. Your archenemy, Satan the Devil, has so fixed it. Prayer can break you out of this mold. Prayer can break every yoke. Pray! Cry out loud with me, "Father forgive me and show me the way out."

There’s a Bible verse which says: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7 KJV). Hallelujah! Amen. In simple English it means this. Power plus Love plus a Sound Mind equal Strategy. God the Heavenly Father created you and gave exactly what you’d need for the journey he sent you through earth to travel. Hear me again. With absolutely no trace of fear, Power plus Love plus a Sound Mind equals Strategy, for winning every single encounter you would ever face along this beautiful journey called Life. That’s what God does. Good things. Sadly, many of you have turned over your power to the enemy. Many have traded Love for hate. As for Sound Mind…You’ve exchanged sound mind for the mind of empty sounds. Sounds everywhere—evil sounds…silly sounds…rubbish sounds…loud noisy sounds…ungodly sounds—So many sounds you now mind you hardly have a mind left. You guard such boisterous sounds with your life. At the risk of your Sound Mind. It is time to pray out loud, "Jesus have mercy upon me. I am lost." May we each find our way back to the Creator’s plan.

Laziness has clothed you with fear. Fear. That very same spirit of fear Almighty God, your Heavenly Father, denied from having access to you. You, instead of staying away, diligently go searching for, find and embrace fear. It now manages you. Fear strips you of Faith. Without FAITH it is impossible to please God. To be able to see God one must please God. To be good is to obey the will of God; to do as God says. To be evil is to disobey the will of God; to not do as God says. Who did the Master say would enter the Kingdom at the end of the day? That end of day is when you transition from this current prison of mortal habitation, our prison body of flesh that courts fear. Jesus Christ says the GOOD will enter into eternal life. Jesus Christ says the EVIL will enter into eternal damnation—hell—separation forever from your Creator. Do you see how laziness plans to “do you in”? Laziness plans to obliterate you. A forever kind of do you in. Cry out with me, "Lord save me from myself!"

The little laziness that looked insignificant when you began courting it? Uh hum. It was just a small lil habit! Yes, my friend, you are right. It looked small back then. See now. It will reveal big. If you do not act fast enough. Now. Today. Right now, this minute. Reverse the laziness in you regarding the matter of God Almighty. Reverse the laziness in you when it comes to working out your own soul salvation in Jesus Christ. Reverse the laziness in your approach to life. Your precious life is in your hands. Never mind the laziness of others. We are talking about you. To follow the noise in the market is at your own peril. The marketplace is ungodly. You should be Godly. The bad thing that’s running behind you will not show you itself. Until it catches you. You are either strong or lazy with your life. When you are strong in the Lord, laziness will never catch you. Jesus strength in you causes you to outrun and outmaneuver it. Christ makes the difference. Shout with me, "Glory be to your name O Most High God!"

What are you preaching about this morning, Hortense? Here’s the major takeaway. There is Hope. Hope is Jesus Christ. The Lord specializes in fixing up the complicated messes we make of our life. Hope comes in the name of salvation. Christ the Lord is Salvation. Jesus Christ can remove the stain, the guilt, the regret, from the complicated messes we have become with our life. God’s redemption plan called the sacrifice on The Cross is how. The Blood that came spilling from Jesus Christ, God in human flesh, hanging on The Cross. The Blood was shed to erase every smudge of sin from you. This means, The Blood of Jesus can clean up laziness from your life. Jesus Christ loves you. Christ is calling you out today—Come out of those traps of the enemy. Come out and be entrapped lovingly in Jesus. Allow the Love of The Lord God to wrap you and wrap up everything about you. Love so confident. Love so unconditional. Love so amazing. Divine Love so phenomenal. The love of God keeps giving and giving and giving and giving. Take it. That’s the whole plan. God’s Amazing Love erases sin completely. Astoundingly, God’s love makes you clean; it wipes away like sin never existed; God forgets who you were and He never, ever remembers that part of you ever again. Shout with me, "Oh mighty awesome God!"

Let’s end this on a personal note. It is your life we’re discussing like this. What does it need? A turn around! Christ can handle that. Turn a new leaf. Turn a new page. Turn a new chapter. Turn…turn…turn. Keep turning until you are back with the Lord. Safely back to Almighty God the Heavenly Father. That’s the plan. For Eternity. Jehovah has spoken it to be so. Hallelujah!

I love you with a sisterly love. Stay strong. Stand up for Godliness. Stand up and be counted for righteousness. I pray you feel all the love coming from my end to you. In Jesus name.

Do You Like God?

May Those Who Want to Hear, Listen.

PEOPLE OF GOD. Cry for mercy. Ask Almighty God to divert the wrath. The sting of persecution has come upon my people by your own hand. It will be manifest PERSONAL for you, whatever your requests. You have heaped your specific prayers down onto your fourth generations. Repent from the sins hidden in your souls for you have become a sin-sick soul. Jesus has Balm you must ask for. Ask the Holy Spirit to quicken your spirit, and show you how to pray and what things to pray for. You and your prayers have become foul. Your prayers carry a stench. Your prayers need cleaning up by the Holy Spirit. Many Christians have defiled the presence of God by the nature of your prayer. Repent. Cry out for relief. You forget whose Face you come before. Read the Bible. Ask the Lord to point you to specific Scriptures to cure your prayer. Ask the people, “Do you like God???” says the Lord.

When Jesus Makes You Laugh

I cannot help but love my Jesus. Such it was last night. I had just finished keeping 3rd Night Watch* and was about to get back into bed. The Holy Spirit says to me, God does not answer prayer by delivering stolen goods. I said, what did you say Jesus!!! And then I burst out laughing. I quickly recalled I had asked Him for a word, two days prior, while contemplating perplexed moments about current events. Suddenly there was a warmth inside and I kept smiling glowingly. What a caring father, my God. My loving, adoring, Savior who always hears His child. Jesus Christ is Lord indeed. 

An intimate relationship with Jesus has uncountable benefits. An appropriate, timely answer it was. Isn't this so true though! What kind of all powerful, all knowing, always present God would satisfy by dishonesty? Not my Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Creator of the Universe. My God Almighty, Yahweh, owns the firmament; everything above and everything beneath. Jehovah is too big. The Lord is mighty. Jesus Christ is transparent from Heaven to earth to Calvary to Heaven throughout eternity. Hallelujah! God's nature forever remain unchanging. Those who fear Jehovah find that He demands hot or cold. He spits out lukewarm. 

Almighty God will never compromise being perfect and holy. In the righteousness of Christ you can begin a life of Godliness pleasing to your Heavenly Father. Regardless what shape you are in today, the Lord has His arms outstretched to embrace you. You must choose Jesus. When you have made Him your Lord, let your life revolve around Christ. 

Manifestations in the physical have their parallel circuits in the spiritual. The corona virus epidemic became a pandemic which ushered in a lock down around the world. In parallel, the earth has entered a new Spiritual dispensation. When the heavens are shaken, Heaven responds. Everyone who claims to know Jesus must know how The Lord operates. It is not to please man. It is to please God Almighty that we each must strive for. Everything else is pathway to destruction.

Pray. Pray. Find Jesus Christ for yourself. The Lord loves you enough to show you Himself all over again. Ask Christ to remove the blinders. Ask God to open your Jesus eye. The Age of Deception means the times of massive scale deception. The enemy veils the eyes of people to believe evil is good and good is evil. Ask God for spiritual sight. The times are too close for less than 20/20 vision.

Much love from my end.

Blessings and peace, Servant Hortense

Faithful God

 Always come back to say thank you Jesus. I've asked much and God Almighty has answered much. THANK YOU, LORD.

Dear Heavenly Father...This Last Campaign Day

Heavenly Father. Our Father which art in Heaven. Our Redeemer Jesus bids us come to you. Shake the celestial realm. Roar over the earth sphere. Summons angelic forces to dominate. Cover President Trump. Cover Vice President Pence. Jehovah! This is an historic time in the United States and the World. I know the POWER of Almighty God is on display. Shield Donald J. Trump, and his family on this Election Day eve. Only you could give this man the kind of stamina he has displayed. Who has this kind of natural energy! Not even the average person half his age could demonstrate such strength at this hour. It is You, Yahweh, who has supernatural energy. And you bestore as you see fit. It comes from you, Lord.

Jehovah SABAOTH Lord of the Hosts of Heaven Armies. Commander of the Forces of Heaven. The ONE who instructs the artillery of the Celestial Heavenly universe. Hallelujah! Come now and lay your protective deliverance upon Donald J. Trump, as he takes on one last day of campaigning and telling the world know how much he will continue the fight for the people you have placed under his watch. Cover. Guard. Guide. Lead. Deliver.

Set Time Aside for More Prayer

The last several weeks I've shut down considerably to observe extended periods of intense prayer, intermittent fasting, deeper worship and seeking Jehovah God. This has included intercession for the state of our world, the ongoing COVID dilemma, America and its current political climate. Specifically, Elections 2020 USA and the next President. Never has there been a greater need for Divine intervention in America as now. The United States determines the direction of the rest of the world. There is a battle raging in the realms and God's army on earth must mobilize and fight along with the Hosts of Heaven and Jehovah Sabaoth as commander.  Nothing should be left to chance. Every believer in Christ must look to Jesus for directions and obey.

I cannot over emphasize the urgency of prayer during this critical time in the United States. It is important to get yourself in prayer mood. Fathers, pray around your homes, and cover your family with a blanket of prayer. Mothers, consecrate your homes, and envelop your family in round the clock prayer. People, let us pray and seek the Lord for Divine intervention in all our affairs. Set aside personal extended period of prayer and fasting. Stay in deep worship of Almighty God.

Pray for the neighborhoods. Pray for the communities. Pray for the towns and cities and states. Pray for the nations. Pray for the world. Pray for the global village that is the world. If it means prayer waking the streets do just that. Our Heavenly Father loves you and is lovingly waiting to grant your heart desires.

Pray for America. Pray for America. Pray for the United States. America is the beacon of light God has ordained for the world. Pray for the political climate facing the United States. Pray the will of Almighty God be established in the USA.

Pray for one another. Pray for friends and families. Pray for colleagues and strangers. It is sad how the enemy Satan has woven seeds of discord in the hearts of the people. I am perplexed that family members, friends as well, are being torn apart because they hold different political views. Some people actually no longer speak to each other because their politics differ. Why? This is nothing short of demonic. Pray that such yokes be dismantled and broken before irreparable damage is done to friendships and relationships. The enemy is having a field day with people and only prayer, steadfast penitent prayer, can shake it off. Spend time with God daily.

Pray for yourself that you stay tune in to God and not deceived by current events and circumstances happening around you. Read the Bible. Stay focused on what is important in this life. Be alert. Ask the Lord for Godly wisdom. The world has entered a new Spiritual dispensation. You are alive to see it. PRAY. Pray more. Rejoice in Jesus Christ.

Ask Jesus to send revival in your spirit. Build up your faith and walk in way of the Lord. Lukewarm faith is useless to God. Scripture tells us, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” (Revelations 3:15-16 NIV).

My friend. Stay on fire for the Lord. Preserve your soul for eternity. At the end of the day this is really all that matters. Everything else is just plain old fleeting. Here’s sending much love from my end.

Blessings and peace,
Servant Hortense

Powerlessness or Prayer

Wonderful world. Beautiful people. You are always on my mind. I think of you and keep you in prayer. The past months have been challenging for many, but God is forever faithful. Keep trusting and keep believing. I love you much. 

Last night, I stayed awake all night praying and did not get to bed until five o’clock this morning. Periodically, I found myself face down, prostrate in worship, enjoying the presence of the Holy Spirit and the peace that comes from diligently seeking the Lord. It brings great calm and assurance knowing God Almighty answers prayer and gives victory to His children. During the fourth watch hour these thoughts came to mind. I fell a quickening to post it public and quickly did on the DO IT FOR CHRIST ministry Facebook page. I want to follow up and share it here with you. I want to call you into making prayer a habit. 

It burdens me to see powerlessness in Christians. It grieves me the careless manner some believers have adapted, especially during this political season. It is almost as if Christians have forgotten the standard is God’s way. Every element of our deeds, thoughts, actions and reactions must be held up against what God requires of us. The filters should include what the Lord requires of us in our daily activities. Ask Jesus, what do you want me to do? God owns you. Here are my thoughts during last night 4th watch. May it encourage you to pray more. Pray late at night.

~Too many Christians have pledged allegiance to the world. The carnal nature is overtaking your life. Many believers have returned to living solely by eyesight. No faith. No spiritual insight. No conscience about Godliness. The Holy Spirit has been doused in the body of believers in Christ, the Church. This has quenched the fire of God in our midst. Rise up and pray. Repent, people of God. Seek Almighty God for forgiveness. Ask The Lord to quicken your spirit. Pray. You are straying far from God, one fleshly act at a time. Pray. Pray. Pray. Turn back to God and the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ask the Savior to help you. Jesus loves you so much that he died to make sure you do not perish. This is the love of God.

Blessings and peace, Servant Hortense

African Diaspora Vote Common Sense

What I do know about my race, Black people, is that we do not like to hear the truth. This character flaw is one quickly spotted by those who exploit the resultant ignorance that comes from never listening to truth. When you refute truth and reject facts you are left with limited information. Truth is sometimes painful. Truth could hurt one's feelings. Truth does not always leave a pleasant aftertaste. But truth is soul  medicine. Truth is vital to life. Scripture says truth sets one free.

Even Grandma and Grandpa Would See by Now

Wonderful world. Beautiful people. How are you? I pray life is treating you well and you are fully aware of the wonderful person God created you as. God made the sun to shine just for you. See yourself as God see you and be happy.

As always, I have something to say. Pardon me, please, today my target audience for this post is African immigrants, people of the Black race, and minorities in America. Here are my thoughts. 

They dumbed us down and wore us out, instilling in us that we are victims of systemic racism. We became so traumatized until we could not see our tremendous worth and accomplishments. We settled for the stigma that we will forever be valueless and hopeless minorities in every regard. So says the Democrat party of the USA. That did not completely work, as God opened our eyes to see that we are more than they say. Next stop! I wondered where they would go.

Seemingly, COVID is the only platform the Democrat party is offering America in this election. This is their lone agenda for tackling the multitude of problems facing you and your communities. They want to stroke new rounds of full scale fear in the people because they have nothing new and nothing good or better to sell the voters; especially their devout constituency BLACK Voters. How sad. How disrespectful. Do not allow these politicians, many of which are "let you down" demigods, to use you for free votes and treat you poorly as soon as they win their powerful seats. Minorities, immigrant citizens and Black America, get out and vote to change your personal story. You are the only one who can leverage your value. The Democrat party, in this election, has not offered you alternatives in your best interest. They have taken the minority and Black VOTE for granted again. And again some more.

Absolutely, COVID is real. The coronavirus is deadly. We mourn the many deaths. We note it was and still is a global pandemic. It is an illness for which only medications, therapeutics, vaccines, and other scientific and medical remedies can ease or eradicate. The Democrat party knows they have no more to offer regarding handling of the pandemic. They know they have no magic wand for COVID. The virus will not last forever. Like every medical mystery it will be managed scientifically and medically. They are aware of this fact. They just care about making a fool of you, misleading you emotionally and keeping your emotions roused up for them. You must be kept from being critical thinkers. What better way than to keep you emotionally charged and thinking with your heart. As long as that keeps giving them your Black Vote, nothing else matters. I am not sure you realize the power of your vote. It is a golden deposit, and one which has been solely the property of the Democrat Party. You have no idea the power of your vote. The Black Vote is invaluable asset to Democrat politicians. You own this asset. Therein is your power. Leverage it.

Black people in America, you have said you cannot breathe. The entire world was listening. I am not sure the recipients of your priceless Black Vote heard you. They are using the same formula they’ve used for decades. And it is working for them. It has not worked for you, by your own account. How is that in your best interest? The Democrat party does not even listen to you; they stopped paying attention a long time ago. You are only good for your vote. The BLACK VOTE. They are no longer attentive to your needs. In the grand scheme of things, but for your vote, you are insignificant to them. You must forge your own way in finding the capacities you need and deserve. Ask yourself: 1) Do their 2020 platform provide means to economic capacity; 2) Have they presented pathways to financial independence; 3) Is their message different this time from times past and previous elections; 4) What do you get for your VOTE since the last time they got your vote.

From where I see the answers to all four of the above are No and Nothing. This is not your grandfather and grandmother Democratic Party of their time. There is no need for you continuing a legacy of loyalty. The Democrat Party has changed significantly. They have strayed a long ways away from the core values they once were believed to hold. Even your great grandparents were they alive today would switch in this election, at least. My friend, hear me. Please hear this: Leave the Blueberry fields and come in for some Raspberry pie. Vote the Republican ticket. Vote Trump-Pence. Add these Republican candidates as applicable in your state. Like you, these remarkable Americans are minorities. They know your story. Vote Kim Klacik (Baltimore Maryland). Vote Joe Collins (Los Angeles California). Vote John James (Detroit Michigan). Many others are running for office. Vote Colorblind partnerships—Black and White people who are for you and care about what is good for you.

It is about time you thought of your own interests first before giving some of those career politicians more clout, with their huge egos and fat bank accounts, while you get played every four years by voting Democrat just because you are Black, poor, minority, and have been conditioned to revere your demigods. Every other demography is rising up economically, except you. Prove that you are not monolithic characters. You are a human being entitled to economic capacity, financial independence, equality, fairness, liberty and justice. You deserve more than poverty and neglect. You deserve better than being relegated to dangerous communities, abortion clinics all over your neighborhoods, perpetually struggling households, uneducated teenagers, gangs and violence, hopelessness and dead dreams. You deserve to be seen as Americans, and not labeled exclusively by your identity. You are an American who is of the Black race. The American Dream is meant for you and should be accessible; yours for the taking. If this has not been your story then your vote should be placed elsewhere for a change. You have absolutely nothing to lose. In my African voice, “he that is down fears no fall; where else could he fall to; he’s already down.” Black America, you will never be taken seriously by those your demigods unless you raise your stakes and upgrade your value. You must make yourself worth it. The only way is to speak with the Black Vote. Let it go for whomever is wooing you and begging you, with alms in their hands extended to you.

Go VOTE for YOUR own Self, YOUR Family, YOUR Way of Life, YOUR Future, and Tomorrow’s America. You owe yourself that much.  God bless you. Jesus loves you. Stay prayerful.

Powerful Watch Over America

Wonderful world. Beautiful people. I pray you are doing great and staying calm. You are in my prayers and God is blessing you right now.

To my fellow Americans, and well-meaning friends of America. I want to ask us to do something huge for our beloved country. Join in a 14-day NIGHT WATCH where we keep the night watch in prayer between Midnight and 3:00 a.m. nightly, for the United States. Your country needs your prayers. This Nation needs people to stand in the gap for it just like it fills gaps for its citizens. America is good to her children. Let us return the favor. Pray and settle the matter of America by the power of Almighty God. If you are a believer, you have been given power in Christ. Use your power and keep powerful watch over America. Overrule. Overturn. Cancel. Command. Affix. Make declarations on the authority of Jehovah God. Decree in the name of Jesus Christ.

I would say, the United States of America is in the middle of the most important period in its history. In two weeks America will go to the polls to elect a next President. This election for President of the United States, and ruling leadership, is the most critical in our lifetime. There is absolutely everything at stake. Kindly realize that in the past eight months the entire world came to a halt which was the first time such has occurred in modern history. Please do not be gullible enough to believe this was just another “business as usual” occurrence.

A shifting has happened on the face of the earth. Planet Earth has entered a different dispensation. Get up and pray. Sit down and pray. Stand up and pray. Kneel down and pray. Fall down and pray. Bow down and pray. Walk around and pray. Hush up and pray. It is very important that we seek God for Divine intervention in the political operations of the United States. America runs the world. Whatever is established in the United States is precedent, and outcome, for how the rest of the Globe will become. It is of utmost importance that you turn to Jehovah God and ask for His will to be established in the upcoming United States elections. 

In the matter of ongoing situations in the world. In the matter of circumstances troubling humanity. In the matter of COVID19. In the matter of the coronavirus epidemic. In the matter of Pandemic Lockdown 2020. In the matter of life as you know it around the globe. In the matter of The United States of America. In the matter of Elections USA. In the matter of good versus evil. In the matter of Jesus Christ Savior of the world. In the matter of equality, liberty, freedom and justice for all. In the matter of your very existence on planet earth. In the matter of plagues, pestilence, menaces and life threating pathogens. In the matter of falsehood and truth. You must pray.

Pray like you have never prayed before. Remain steadfast in seeking the face of Jehovah God. Remain steady in your belief that God is the interpreter and HE alone can make it plain. Let the will of Almighty God prevail. Activate your faith in God.

The Bible teaches: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Where take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” (Ephesians 6:12 KJV). Simply means, the deadliest forces of evil and wickedness tormenting mankind are not seen with the naked eye. As such, divine assistance is required to persevere and win.

What are you saying, Hortense? I am saying; take precaution by staying into prayer. Everyone has been cautious in following the World’s rules for staying safe from an unseen, invisible terrorizing virus. How difficult is it to be cautious in following God’s rules for staying safe from destructive forces, seen or unseen. Prayer protects you from everything. Prayer is a shield. Prayer is a deliverer. God answers prayer.

October 21 - November 3, 2020. Keep the 3^rd Watch of Night and fight in prayer for America. Pray between 12:00 midnight-3:00 a.m. God is His own interpreter and HE will make things plain. In Jesus Name we pray.

Sending much love and Jesus radiance to saturate your entire being and strengthen you.

Say Something Do More

Nations comprise of society. Societies are formed by communities. Communities comprise families. Families are made of individuals. Individuals contribute to humanity with their voice. One's voice is your essence. Undergirding the entire nation are you the individual. Endeavor to use your voice for good. 

My friend, I would be inaccurate if I did not add that prayer adds tremendous capacity to your voice.  Pray and Act. I am a global citizen with a particular interest in The United States and Africa. Find your particular interest and act for humanity.

Wonderful world. Beautiful people. I pray you all are being the strong, vibrant, lovely people you were created to be. I thought to stop by and drop a snippet of inspiration. I've recently distanced from social media and internet platforms to dedicate myself to period of intense prayer, interceding for the USA and the world. Allow me to ask you to do likewise. Pray for your country where you live. Pray for the World. Pray especially for the United States. America sets the tone for the entire world.

Our country, America, is facing the most important historical moment in many our lifetime. Situations have long transcended political affiliations, personalities, religion, and other filters. Likewise, all around the globe, the world has changed tremendously over the past 8 months. I do not know for sure that it has changed for the better. I do know for sure the Creator can mend any and all broken parts of the Universe he, God Almighty, created. And so I pray and pray and pray and pray and fast and pray and fast and pray and pray and pray... and take courage in the Bible. In the matter of the universe and humanity God has the last say.

Depending on Scripture we must make declarations. We decree what must be bound on earth and it is bound in Heaven. We declare what is loosed in Heaven is let loose on the earth. Blessings, forgiveness, mercy, grace, bravery, tolerance, love over hate, sound mind, wisdom, boldness, Godliness, Holy Spirit insight, courage, strength, more love: these must be loosed upon the earth. Prayer is the only avenue God can use to bless mankind. 

Remember you have never lived in another world aside this one. This is the world you know. Should you get a chance to live in another world you would not in mortal flesh. Hence this world is home to your existence now. Cherish it. Pray for it. Pray that good will overcome evil. Pray that God's will is established upon the earth at such a time as this. Pray that you would see through the eyes of God.

Much love from my end.
